The molecule BPG binds to the deoxy form of hemoglobin in the central cavity. Explain why that makes sense for oxygen delivery a

nd why BPG is said to stabilize the deoxy state.
Biology

Answer:

Oxygen binds with the hemoglobin to carry the blood to different body parts through the circulatory system. The binding of the oxygen to Hb is regulated by the Bisphosphoglycerate or BPG molecule. It is bounded to the deoxy form of hemoglobin.

BPG binds with deoxy Hb in the central cavity of the four subunits which decreases the affinity to hemoglobin. The binding of BPG stabilizes T form or deoxy-Hb as  the central cavity is larger in T form in comparison to the R state. R state has a low affinity to oxygen due to relatively smaller central cavity.

A certain first-order reaction a → b is 25% complete in 42 min at 25°c. What is the half-life of the reaction?
yan [13]

Answer:

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = 101.16 minutes

Explanation:

For a First order reaction, the rate constant is determined by

k = \frac{2.303}{t} log \frac{a}{a-x}

Where

k= rate constant

t= time required for a reaction

a= initial concentration

x= amount of reactant decomposed in time t

a-x= amount of reactant left after time t

Let the initial concentration be 100

Then

x = 25\\a-x = 75

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

k = \frac{2.303}{42} log \frac{100}{75} \\

k = 6.85 *10^{-3}

Also,

k = \frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}} } \\t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{0.693}{6.85 *10^{-3}}\\

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = 101.16 minutes

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

c. Acclimatization

Explanation:

<u>Acclimatization</u> : Various physiological readjustments and compensatory mechanisms in body that reduces the effects of hypoxia in permanent residents at high altitude. These are basically the respiratory and hematopoetic adjustments to long-term move to high altitude.

As the Chum Salmon (oncorhynchus keta) are born in freshwater water constantly diffuses into the body and ions are lost from the body while in the sea water, they lose water.

As alot of changes are occrun in the cells of the gills of chum salmon, that is acclimatization as various physiological readjustments are being made.
